This kid... must be fantasizing about something right now.

Well, it seems I was convinced anyway.

Then, Rhode quickly put one arm through Mordred's knees and picked her up as a princess.

"Stupid, idiot! What are you doing? Put me down!"

The girl struggled after being attacked suddenly, pushing Rhodes while her slender white legs flew up and down in the air.

"We might be killed by the Lion King tomorrow, so we must enjoy ourselves tonight."

"...You are the worst man!"

Mordred looked speechless.

"All right, Xiao Mo. Answer me like a man! Are you willing to go before the Lion King with me?"

"Go... can't you just go?"

After hesitating for a while, Mordred took the initiative to put his arms around his neck.

Leaning close to his ear, the girl whispered softly.

"However, there are more important things to do before we go to see our father."

"Just like you turned Arthur into your woman...try to make me a woman who is completely devoted to you."

"As ordered."

Rhodes smiled flatteringly and carried the shy Mordred into the bathroom.

……

……

……

"Fuwu, Fufu!"

As soon as the Chaldean group walked out of the basement of Atlas Courtyard, they reconnected with Romani, and the white little beast basking in the sun also began to play happily.

"Kedi, gedi." Xuanzang Sanzang stretched lazily, "The cats are happy to be outside. Of course, I am also very happy, and the corners of my mouth are raised with joy!"

"The underground passage is too long! Ah! The sandstorm seems to have stopped.

Maybe it’s because this place is right above the Atlas Courtyard, but this is the only place that doesn’t belong to the Sun King’s territory.”

After some discussion, they decided to temporarily return to the territory of the Mountain People and make other plans.

After walking in the desert for half a day, the Chaldean group saw a team.

"Wait, that's..."

At Romani's reminder, everyone looked into the distance and saw a team of fully armed troops.

"Why did the Knight of Uprightness appear in the territory of the Sun King..."

There were more than forty upright knights appearing before everyone. With their current fighting power, it was not impossible for them to escape.

But the next moment, everyone immediately understood why there were only such a small number of upright knights chasing them.

A man in purple armor stepped out from the ranks of knights.

Under the protection of the elves, Lancelot possessed an excellent luck value [B+]. As soon as he led his team into the desert, he ran into the target he was chasing.

Mash stared at her nervously and clenched her fists: "Knight Lancelot!"

Lancelot raised the holy sword Arondate. Even the sand in the desert could not cover the cold light on the blade.

Since he appeared here, this troop of righteous knights was naturally the most elite guerrilla force in the Holy City.

After receiving the mission to hunt down Chaldea from the Lion King, he marched overnight to this area in the desert.

By the way, the address of Atlas Court was revealed to him by Rod "accidentally".

Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed and Lancelot looked around at them.

He was stunned when he saw the goddess Morrigan wearing a black mask.

Lancelot was not Morgan's son after all, so he didn't sense the witch's aura from her.

Likewise, he did not realize that the true identity of the spirit base was actually the blackened King Arthur.

After all, in "Fate/zero", Artoria was unable to recognize the berserker Lancelot, so this is not surprising.

Finally, Lancelot's eyes fell on Matthew.

Hmm? So what is…

"Lord Lancelot, please give me your instructions."

After being reminded by his subordinates, Lancelot said in a serious tone: "The escape scene ends here. You have no way to escape, so just surrender.

I don't have that much time to waste on you. If you resist, no matter who you are, I will show no mercy.

All hands on deck. Start capturing the rebels."

At Lancelot's command, the upright knights drew their swords and halberds in unison.

Mashu called out to the round table: "Senior, please give the combat order!"

"...Before that, there is one thing I want to confirm one last time."

"?"

In the tense atmosphere, everyone looked at the Master from Chaldea.

Before fighting Lancelot, Ritsuka decided to activate the hero deck first.

"Knight Lancelot, I have something to ask you before we start the battle!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said loudly to the two people who were chasing him: "What do you think of the Lion King's judgment? Is burning down everyone's village really what King Arthur should do?"

"hiss."

Lancelot took a deep breath and roared as if he was venting the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

"That is certainly not the behavior of a king! My sword is entrusted to King Arthur, not the Lion King!"

King Arthur is no longer the same King Arthur. Her Majesty knows this better than anyone else, otherwise she would not call herself the Lion King.

"……So!"

Lancelot interrupted Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, "But this has nothing to do with the mission of arresting you!"

He raised the holy sword and rushed straight towards the magician.

“…It’s really unreasonable!”

when! ! !

Sparks flew everywhere.

Xuanzang Sanzang rushed to Ritsuka and waved his Zen staff to block the attack from the Lake Knight.

"You know the king is wrong but you still fight for her. You can't tell right from wrong!"

The holy sword and the staff kept colliding and intersecting, and the surging magic power blew up the surrounding yellow sand.

Lancelot's posture was like that of a rational berserker, constantly drawing sword arcs full of magic power, and even Sanzang, who was good at close combat, was suppressed.

"Because this is the best approach. In a world destined to be destroyed, having a king to show the right path is more convincing than anything else!

That's why I entrusted the sword to her. Now that she has received the blessing of the Lion King, let this sword be proof that we are no longer the Round Table of the past!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka in the back asked again: "Knight Lancelot! Do you know the true face of the Holy Lance and the purpose of the Lion King!?"

Lancelot blocked Sanzang's attack with a sword and jumped back several steps to create some distance.

His face remained expressionless: "What do you want to say?"

"In fact, the Holy City is not an ideal city. It is a tower at the end. It is a cage that collects ideal humans and holds them.

And when it is accomplished, everything on this land and the history of this era will be completely wiped out!"

“… unexpectedly.”

Lancelot lowered the sword in his hand and his body trembled slightly.

This scene did not escape Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes: Very good! Sure enough, the Knights of the Round Table were not told the truth about the Holy Lance!

Then, Lancelot just shook his head slightly: "You even know this, which means the people around you know the same thing.

That's right. When the Holy City is filled with qualified humans, the gate of the Tower of the End will open.

This was the first thing the Lion Queen declared to us after our Round Table entered the Holy City, and we vowed to obey her words.

Do you know why the king only summoned five knights instead of all thirteen?

That's because the five of us are knights who once committed sins against the King!

This is our atonement. We have already decided to be the enemy of all human beings in this era."

So even though the king's behavior showed his ruthlessness towards humans, even though the king had become a puppet of the demon concubine,

Lancelot paused and said, "Since you have already realized this, I cannot let you escape. I cannot let you spread unnecessary terror any more."

"Knight Lancelot, you knew about the Holy Lance, but you still served the king! You knew it was wrong, but you still...!"

The Knight of the Lake raised the holy sword above his head and readjusted his stance: "Stop talking nonsense! I have already said that none of us at the Round Table are disloyal to the King!

I don't want to talk to you anymore! If you still have objections, I'll risk my life and go before the king to raise my objections... Uwaa ...

"Wow!!!"

Mash roared and swung out the shield. The edge of the shield hit Lancelot's temple and knocked him sideways more than ten meters away.

“I’m totally pissed!!!”

Chapter 279 A loving father and a filial daughter

"Wow!!! I'm totally pissed!!!"

Mash shouted in satisfaction and anger, and Lancelot let out a wail as he was knocked away.

After rolling, his upper body fell into the sand dune, and the Chief Knight looked like a funny head-over-heels.

"Uh...uh."

Lancelot crawled out of the yellow sand and shook his dizzy head.

But as soon as he raised his head, he saw a purple shadow rushing towards him at high speed.

"Drink it!"

The large shield swept across Lancelot's chest with force.

Mashu delivered a roaring blow.

There was no skill involved, but it was incredibly fast. Both Ritsuka and Sanzang felt that Mashu was a completely different person now.

Knowing the true name of the heroic spirit that descended upon her and lent her power, Mashu entered the final stage of metamorphosis.

Then, the driving force for the girl to grow further came from her anger towards Lancelot.

The attack was filled with pure violence. If the Knight of Justice was hit, he could be easily killed instantly. The Lake Knight was caught off guard and was sent flying again.

"Whoa!"

Lancelot's body drew a beautiful arc.

He flew out more than twenty meters and then landed heavily, raising a spectacular cloud of sand.

But the next moment, Lancelot rushed out from the dust and ran straight towards Mashu.

Although he was attacked repeatedly by the unknown girl, the Lake Knight, the strongest of the Round Table, quickly adjusted his state.

The opponent is just a weak servant, but Knight Lancelot, who has been granted [Sadness], will never underestimate the enemy.

At the same time, he also felt something special from the enemy's momentum.

Signals of anxiety were emitted from all over my body.

The light blue of the lake condensed on the blade of Alondite's sword.

"Reach the end, transcend the limit. King of the other side, witness this light! All the chains are broken, and the light passes through the heavy lake!"
